A Brooklyn nanny accused of stealing more than $30,000 from Weeds actress Mary-Louise Parker is working to pay the money back, authorities have said.

Amanda Hoston-St. Louis, 33, was reportedly given the West Wing actress' debit card and PIN to go shopping for her children, and instead allegedly used to the code to make withdrawals for herself.

During a court appearance on Monday in Brooklyn Supreme Court, prosecutors told Justice Marguerite Dougherty that restitution payments would be part of a plea deal they’re working on with Hoston-St. Louis.

TMZ pictured the nanny in her mugshot. She was charged with identity theft, grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property in June.

Sources said she has been linked to more than $30,000 in transactions dating back to 2016.

A criminal complaint from June accuses her of making two withdrawals, totaling more than $3,000 from the shopping trip with Parker’s children.

Authorities were alerted after Parker's bank notified the actress about the withdrawals, according to the New York Daily News.

If convicted, Hoston-St Louis faces up to seven years in prison for the top charge of third-degree larceny.

The nanny was released on her own recognizance and will next appear in court on October 17.

Parker lives in Brooklyn with her teenage son William and her young daughter, who was adopted from Ethiopia in 2007.

Hoston-St. Louis is listed in the acknowledgements of Parker's 2015 memoir, 'Dear Mr. You.'

During a court appearance on Monday in Brooklyn Supreme Court, prosecutors told Justice Marguerite Dougherty that restitution payments would be part of a plea deal they’re working on with Hoston-St. Louis
